Never-the-less, let’s look at some of the most expensive shoes in the world and brands who have made it to our elaborate list.

Here are the Top 10 Most Expensive Footwear Styles

1. The Ruby Slippers

Price: US $3 Million

The musical fantasy film admired by almost everyone, The Wizard of Oz, released in 1939 was made by Metro Goldwin Mayer who was inspired by the novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.

History of the Ruby Slippers

A number of slippers were made by the then famous Chief Designer Gilbert Adrain before the final one was selected for the movie. As compared to the book, Dorthy’s silver slippers were made into ruby slippers. All of them were stored with the massive collection of other costumes designes and worn in the movie. While many of these were sold at an auction a few years later, one pair still seems to be missing.

Fifty years after the production of the movie, Ronald Winston decided to recreate the ruby slippers, this time using rubies and diamonds instead of sequins. A dedication of two months’ time using 4600 rubies and 50 carat diamonds, a stunning pair of glittering shoes were created. After about 60 days, these were unveiled at the “House of the Harry Winston” with a price tag of only US $3 Million attached to it.
